About Us – Little Hands Learning Center

Where Katy Families Feel Like Family

Little Hands Learning Center is family-owned and rooted right here in Katy, built on more than two decades of hands-on experience caring for children just like yours.

Who We Are

Meet Cindy

Cindy Graves has been doing this for over 23 years now. She started small, running an in-home childcare program for families in her own neighborhood, and it grew from there.

Her first standalone center was right here in Katy, and she ran it for 13 years. After taking some time off, she went back to early childhood education, working with bigger organizations and eventually running one of the largest early education schools in the country.

Katy never stopped feeling like home, though. So she and her husband decided to open Little Hands. The idea was simple: take everything she’d learned from working with big organizations and combine it with the kind of personal attention you only get at a small, family-run center.
